Many thanks to our proud sponsors. A new national contest is asking Canadian children and their parents what they think playing strong, clean and fair hockey means. And your answer could mean a trip to the 2008 IIHF World Championship being held in Canada for the first time ever. "We feel that Canada's national pastime could benefit from the country's youngest citizens explaining what it means to play hockey strongly, yet cleanly and fairly, both on and off the ice," said John Schofield, VP & Country Manager Henkel Consumer Goods Canada Inc. "As supporters of hockey at many skill levels, we believe their input could provide important and insightful learning that we should all embrace." The Henkel Play Fair, Play Clean Contest runs until March 31, 2008. Canadians six to 16 years of age can team up with their parents or legal guardians, log onto www.henkelpowerplayers.ca and follow the on-screen instructions to submit an original essay of 250-500 words. The essay should simply and concisely outline what playing fair and clean hockey means to them. Each month, a winner will be selected randomly from all entries to receive an MP3 Player. One grand prize winning team will receive a trip to Halifax to see a World Hockey Tournament game in May 2008. Your entry can also help another child get to play hockey. Recognizing that many Canadian children just can't afford to play the sport, Henkel will donate $5 through their corporate phi- lanthropy program, Henkel Smile, to KidSport for every essay entry that is received. KidSport is a national children's charitable program that helps disad- vantaged kids overcome the barriers preventing or limiting their participation in organized sport. This is in addition to the company's recent initial donation of $25,000 to KidSport. - News Canada CO NT ES T FO R K IDS GEORGETOWN MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION What does playing fair and clean hockey mean to you?

The flea market booth has a sign with the name Pets R Us and gave out business cards with the name Feed Me More Pets with a business location of Chesley, Ontario. If you or someone you know has come into contact with a puppy from booth #1513 or the business in Chesley, call the Halton Region Health Department at 905-825-6000 or 1- 866-442-5866, or visit your family physician immediately. Come April, about 11,000 house- holds across the Region will also start having their waste collected on a dif- ferent day. The municipalitys new Household Waste Collection calendars will advise residents of their collection days. Calendars have already been dis- tributed to households throughout Halton, with new ones set to be issued in mid-March just before the new con- tract starts. The implementation plan will go before regional council on Wednes- day. But even if its approved by council, the new waste collection program still has another hurdle to clear. The majority of the four local municipalities have to approve a bylaw that gives the Region full juris- diction over garbage collection deci- sions. Currently, each municipality can alter their own service levels. So far, Oakville council is the only one thats passed the bylaw. The item is slated to go before Halton Hills council on Monday and Miltons com- munity services committee Feb. 11, while a date isnt known yet for Burlington council. Milton Councillor Barry Lee asked Region staff what would happen if the majority of councils dont support the bylaw. Halton Director of Legal Services Mark Meneray said the current bylaw, which doesnt give exclusive jurisdic- tion to the Region, would continue. Lee went on to speak out against aspects of the new waste collection plan, such as the garbage bag reduc- tion. Thats going to be quite penalizing for the farmers and the agricultural community at large, he said. He also noted that while he sup- ports any program that diverts waste from the landfill, he doesnt want to see the GreenCart program in the rural area. In this case, one shoe doesnt fit all, he said. There are many areas in Halton where the GreenCart is totally inappropriate. Halton Hills council to discuss new plan Monday Continued from pg.1 Rabies warning issued
